(Museo del Instituto de Zoología Agrícola "Francisco Fernández Yépez", Faculty of Agronomy, Universidad Central de Venezuela. Maracay, Aragua State, Venezuela. Perhaps, and only perhaps, there may be a smallest number of paratypes of some species at the collection of the MALUZ (Museo de Artrópodos de la Universidad del Zulia, Maracaibo, Zulia State, which has the second largest collection of odes in Venezuela.
No, at the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Central de Venezuela, specifically at the Instituto de Zoología y Ecología Tropical (IZET), in Caracas, there may not be any Odonata left now. Those were of the Racenis collection, and are now all at Maracay.

A manuscript for the Zygoptera collection is under process1Natioanl Insect Musuem has collection under two sections. One section has collection that was inherrited to Pakistan on its Inception in 1947, when it was declared a separate country from the United India (The Sub Continent). In this collection the oldest record of Odonata is of the year 1908. This Collection section is named as PUSA/Pre Partition Section. The other section has insect collection recorded after 1947 and it is named as Post Partition Section. Both the section together have nearly 1550 specimens of Odonata.

I suppose this refers to Königsberg (where Hagen was first working), the capital of eastern Prussia, which is since 75 years the Russian province of Kaliningrad; the city is also renamed into Kaliningrad. I don't know how much of the collection survived the war; Oleg may know.
